> In Spark 1.0.0+, calling {{stop()}} on a StreamingContext that has not been 
> started is a no-op which has no side-effects.  This allows users to call 
> {{stop()}} on a fresh StreamingContext followed by {{start()}}.  I believe 
> that this almost always indicates an error and is not behavior that we should 
> support.  Since we don't allow {{start() stop() start()}} then I don't think 
> it makes sense to allow {{stop() start()}}.
> The current behavior can lead to resource leaks when StreamingContext 
> constructs its own SparkContext: if I call {{stop(stopSparkContext=True)}}, 
> then I expect StreamingContext's underlying SparkContext to be stopped 
> irrespective of whether the StreamingContext has been started.  This is 
> useful when writing unit test fixtures.
